I say it depends on you as president of the Academy,

protect us from this horrible confusion.

Remove the paintings before the opening, I implore you.

Do not give in, they are nothing more than childish things and amateurs.

Remove them, are a disgrace to these walls.

Gentlemen, please, please ...

Thank You.

What is the purpose of art ...?

What is the purpose of art?

Idealize, sentimentalize?

No, of course not,

the purpose of art is to reveal the truth.

God's purpose is to reveal God.

But not in cartoons.

Neither ugliness.

- Let him speak. - Listen to what he has to say.

If God is the creator of nature,

intone also the creator of decomposition,

disease, ugliness.

Proffers not deny that Mr. Hansilvya,

is not the person from whom someone might fall in love,

but faithfulness, honesty,

these things are more important than mere conventional beauty.

Do you understand? He was painting what he saw.

But what you see, Mr. Raskins? Tell us.

I see nothing less than eternal truth ... I see God.

In these visionaries,

I see a noble art school, which the world has produced in 300 years.

It's ridiculous.

- Son imitators. - Medieval copies.

Sr. Raskins,

Do you think that painting pleases God?

Every great work of art, is pleased.

If its nature is pleased, then we follow.

I must confess that this seems empty.

Well done dear, it was an interesting question,

and bravely said.

Do not worry about God, to think of their dogs.

I do not know what I think, just like me,

make me feel happy.

I do not remember the last time I felt happy in this place.

Horrible collection of men self halagndose,

was a relief to hear an intelligent female voice.

It is a pleasure ... I'm Eff ...

that is, the Mrs. John Raskins.

Be who you are, but who you were when you were a Mrs. John Raskins?

I'm Elizabeth.

My name Eff ... Eufemia.

It is somewhat sad to lose your name,

and taking the Christian name of your husband that.

- Fortunately I do not have that cross. - Why?

- Lady Eastlake. - Thank You.

- Her husband is ... - President of the Academy. Yup.

Thank You. Absolutely hates the paintings, by the way.

But respect the opinion of her husband, as his.

Has to invite to dinner.

Well, I'll remember.

- It seems like just fine. - As good as expected.

They agreed to leave the paintings instead.

Lady Eastlake was very friendly, and did not know who I was at first.

Lady Eastlake?

John congratulations, you won the fight.

Sure must be proud.

We'll see, it is certain that I will take three days to recover.

Is that asking so much of you,

everyone always want something.

Forgot to say ...

Lady Eastlake asked me to invite them to dinner here.
